Therapist

Virtual • Florida


"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.

Therapist

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.

Michael Epstein

Michael Epstein

Therapist

Virtual • Sarasota, FL


Mindfully focused to connect your presenting concern to your system, my style is to meet you where you are whether you need me to explain what we’re doing, or simply direct you. My approach is practical, direct, and occasionally humorous — I believe real progress happens when you feel are both, supported and challenged, not just listened to.

Over 30 years I've worked with individuals, couples, and families through some of the hardest seasons of life: chronic illness, painful grief, relationship breakdowns, severe ADHD, life hindering eating disorders, destructive anger, and major life transitions.

I singly raised my three children, and came to realize clinical training doesn’t compare to life experience... theory helps it’s just not enough to capture the big picture.

I've also spent significant time working with military families and first responders, rich in life experience. They seem to prefer my steady, no-nonsense mindset at times.

Also, a well trained 15 year-old Australian Shepherd occasionally joins sessions — let me know if you'd prefer this.

Mental health is rarely just one thing. Anxiety and substance use. Bipolar and relationships. Trauma and the body. I work with the full picture, not just the label.

I am Cathy, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of experience working with adults across a wide range of emotional and behavioral health challenges. I bring a depth of specialized training that most providers do not carry including Biofeedback, Art Therapy, the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and evidence-based approaches for bipolar, eating disorders, infertility, and end of life. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and transgender inclusive, and I meet every client exactly where they are.

Shayla Felicien

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes you shouldn’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, PTSD and trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, toxic or unhealthy relationships, narcissistic abuse, major life transitions, stress, overwhelm, and the sometimes-messy transition into adulthood. I also specialize in helping clients build healthier boundaries, become more confident and assertive in their relationships, recognize unhealthy patterns, and learn to advocate for their needs without losing themselves in the process.

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Keiser University and bring a warm, genuine, down-to-earth presence to my work. My space is neurodivergent-friendly and very much “come as you are”—and when the moment allows, there’s room for lighthearted humor and laughter, too.
